Palin’s Doodle Sheet Intended To Be Campaign Poster, HEGHH?

TNR’s Noam Scheiber has more on that clutch Sarah Palin doodle sheet he found in Wasilla, the one with all the pretty scribble-scrabble — you know, the type of thing parents tell their autistic children to make so that they can relax and drink scotch for an hour. Apparently that doodle sheet wasn’t just brainstorming — she told her mayoral “campaign manager” that it was an actual DRAFT for a campaign poster. Just words and shit everywhere! Obviously this didn’t come to fruition, but the unreadable doodle sheet would later inspire a cover of The Atlantic magazine. [TNR]

Used in a sentence: “Sarah, wrap a towel around your meth tubs, the snow machine repair man is coming over to help me beat up the census taker tied up in the basement.”

On the topic of Trig, I know exactly zero about Downs Syndrome. Is it normal that Trig never moves, never cries, never does ANYTHING but (allegedly) breathe at those incredibly noisy events where he’s passed around like a doll? I suspect drugging.

Low muscle tone (called hypotonia) is also characteristic of children with DS, and babies in particular may seem especially “floppy.” Though this can and often does improve over time, most children with DS typically reach developmental milestones — like sitting up, crawling, and walking — later than other kids.

At birth, kids with DS are usually of average size, but they tend to grow at a slower rate and remain smaller than their peers. For infants, low muscle tone may contribute to sucking and feeding problems, as well as constipation and other digestive issues. Toddlers and older kids may have delays in speech and self-care skills like feeding, dressing, and toilet teaching.

You all really really really really need to read the first draft of her campaign speech, as written by Sarah Palin.

You will see such phrasings as “was graduated from Wasilla High” and how you don’t need government “coming down your throat”.

I’m not making this up.

Lemme explain.

775: Yards between her front porch and Russia.

225: Her SAT score.

Subtract her SAT from the yards between her and Russia and you get 550 which happens to be John McCains real age.

We’re going to find out this Palin person was Sacha Baron-Cohen in elaborate makeup after the election, right?

As a graphic designer, I’d sooner Oedipus Rex my eyes out than work on this. As an Obama supporter, I’d tell them to go for it. Suckers.

You’re doing people a great service by providing the spelling of “Heghh.” I’ve been wondering about that since the weekend.

Obviously why she chose “Flute-playing” over “design” in the talent portion.

I refuse to believe that this woman was vetted at all.

[re=126710]ihasasad[/re]: They’re entire English & Language Arts dept. should be burned to the ground. Is this why she hates libraries?
[re=126722]Worlds End[/re]: Yes. Unless you’re being rhetorically obnoxious, in which case, the answer is still “Yes”.

I encourage Sarah to use this poster in her future campaigns. I think it should be on a pastel pink background. Sarah – I recommend adding some hearts, teddy bears and swastikas. Include the phrases “Maverick” and “WWJD?” and “library books are for terrorists.”
